Today, I will speak about the Najul House.

This house was designed by José Salas; a recognized Venezuelan architectand was built in Argentina in 2011.

Najul House was created to satisfy the need of the first owner, Gabriel Montero.

The house is located in a risk near to Mar de Plata, and it´s surrounded by lots of nature.

The concept of the house is based on the needs of the first client, a photographer, whose requirement was a house with large and lighted spaces to work and live in.

The seventy-two square meters house is composed of a kitchen, dining room, studio, bedroom, living room, bathroom, office and two external decks, all in one big floor.

Mainly, the house consists of a largenumber ofwindows that allow the resident to be connected with nature. The floor is made of wood collectedin areasnear the house. Every space was conceived to make a perfect relation with each other.

The shape of the house describes many crossed rectangles, forming a beautiful and interesting final form. The house has a structural wall system (load-bearing walls), because the architect doesn’t use columns in small projects. They are made of reinforced concrete and have an external stone veneer, and inside, the walls are painted in different colors.

The decoration is related with the likes of the client, for example, many white furniture and many other arrangement furniture especially for working. The kitchen is made in a modern style to satisfy the biggest demands.

The house is a good example of nature in architecture, because you can feel it inside of the house. The beautiful scenery offers the resident great reasons to stay for a long time to live, work or simply, enjoy.

I hope you enjoyed the tour of this wonderful home.
